Rock Mill Climbing, Yoga & Fitness

Battling fierce headwinds and treacherous open-water crossings, Jack & Monty pushed their limits on a high-octane canoe trek across Northern Canada this summer.

Now they’re back to tell the tale. Join Jake & Monty, the first Adventure Scholarship Recipients, for a special Beta Night Trip Recap during Rock the Mill Fest this Saturday, Sept. 12th from 4–5 PM. 🛶

Bring a chair or blanket, and we'll see you on the lawn. 🌅

Setting Updates | Week of 8/31 ✨ This week, we reset the Entrance Wall, Cave + Main Prow.

With Team Rock Mill back in action, you’ll start seeing one “comp-style” boulder pop up each week in one of the zones. These climbs will remain ungraded through the first week. Give ’em a shot and see if you’ve got what it takes to be a Comp Kid this season. 👀

Next week, we'll be resetting the Left Prow, 30-Degree + Transition Walls. See you at the gym. 💪

These wonderful local musicians will be Rocking the Mill with us next Saturday, 9/12 to close out the fest:

5:30 PM | Tyler Bohinc

Bring a lawn chair or blanket if you’ve got ’em and we'll see you on the lawn ☀️Learn more and RSVP at the link in our bio.

Setting Updates | Week of 8/23 ✨ New sets are up on the Barrel, Variety Wall & Flat Wall. Next week, we’re moving on to the Prow, Cave & Entrance walls.

Thursday was Jeff’s last day setting with us, so make sure to get on his final Rock Mill sets while you can! We’re grateful for all the bangers he’s put up over the years and wish him the best on what’s next. ❤️

And speaking of setting… we’re hiring! Interested in joining the Rock Mill setting team? Check out the link in our bio for all the details.

The routes were tough, the bail b***y was irresistible, the beach balls weren’t too distracting and the stoke was high! Thanks to everyone who made this year’s Bouldering Sucks one for the books.

Swipe through for some highlights, and be sure to get in on the fun next year. 💪🪩🥳

Setting Updates | Week of 8/17 ✨ Fresh sets & a bittersweet goodbye....

This week, we re-set the Fan, the Slab and the Center Walls. (You may have noticed we’ve switched things up and started rotating our sets in the opposite direction to keep things fresh.)

Next week, we’ll move on to the Barrel, Variety Wall, and Flat Walls. It’ll also be the final week for our longtime setter, Jeff.

Jeff has been putting up bangers for Rock Mill since 2023. We’re grateful for all the creativity, hard work, and great climbs he’s brought to the gym over the last few years. If you see him around this coming week, be sure to wish him luck on his next adventure. 🎉
